“We live in a Gestapo age.”

7 comments:

I encourage everyone to get on the band wagon to comment on the IRS proposed rules for non-profit groups. Here are the comments I made. You are welcom to sue them or any part thereof: PArt 1

This comment on the proposed regulations is pursuant to ourRepublican Form of government guaranteed by Article IV Section4 of the United States Constitution. As an agency of the federal government this is applicable.1.) The proposed regulation does not prohibit political speech and participation, it interferes with a Constitutional mandate upon the federal government: Organizations singled out for proposing that the Constitution be followed and promoting definitive statements pursuant to this agenda cannot be attacked by regulation prohibiting such. The position of the Internal Revenue Service to enact such regulation violates Article IV Section 4. The position is contrary to the Supreme Law of the land.

2.) The IRS has a mandate to guarantee a republican Form ofGovernment. The IRS being an administrative agency of the federalgovernment, the United States; See Hooven Allison v Evatt Tax Commissioner of Ohio for the meaning of United States.

3.) By categorically labeling the organizations so situatedas "political" the IRS creates a "fiction of law". Organizations singled out for their position to pursue the constitutional requirements and its mandate upon government have an agenda that promotes "lawful" government. It is not a statement of politics, it is a statement of what is lawful and what is not. Conforming to the mandate of the constitution is one of a legal and lawful basis and does not present a political position. The Constitution cannot be changed by whim, political process or even judicial decision, See Marbury v Madison. It must be changed by the "lawful" process, through the amendment process.

4.) By referencing the term "Political" in the proposed regulations the IRS "switches the burden of proof". Merely calling a thing political does not make it so. There is no test in the proposed regulations to preserve the due process of the applicants. By refering the term "political" and categorizing the citizens and groups of citizens as such, the regulations pervert the "lawful" mandate on government to ensure a Republican form of government is guaranteed.

5.) By switch the burden the proof on a group, the IRS wouldpresent a chilling effect to free speech and association protected by the First Amendment. Lawfully acting groups promoting the due course of law, a limited government, the following of the "powers delegated that are few and defined" are not engaged in political speech or activism, the are envolved in their duty as citizens to promote the lawful activities ofgovernment.

6.) The actions of the IRS in proposing such regulation that prohibit the lawful expression of limited government following the defined authority delegated by the people while allowing groups who openly advocate theunlawful expansion of government, political activism to promote government activity outside the lawful amendment process and subvert the Constitution are not authorized. The "actions" by the IRS are in distinct opposition to the constitutional mandate to guarantee a Republican form of government. By the violation of ArticleIV Section 4 and the targeting of groups that promote proper constitutional application, the IRS becomes a political arm of other political groups that use politics and pressure to circumvent proper constitutional processes and the rule of law. The agency will thusviolate its mandate pursuant to Article IV Section 4. No authority in theEnabling Statute that created the agency or that has been thus enacted, that will pass constitutional review, empowers the IRS or the Department of the Treasury to ignore constitutional mandate. If enacted, the proposed regulations would become "constructiveintent" to violate the authority creating the agency.

7.) The IRS is mandated to follow the Constitution; it has a duty to ensure a Republican form of government. The IRS Should be challenging any and all groups who advocate unlawful process contrary to constitutional mandate. Subversive groups that promote acts oractions designed to circumvent the constitutional process, frustrate the rule of law, frustrate the regular activity required for the proper exercise of government and deny to the citizens of the United States a Republican form of government.

8.) The actions of the IRS will formant unlawful activity, undue burdens upon the government and place the agency in positions that will result in need less litigation. By violating the citizen’s right to participate and associate to promote a lawful government, the IRS opens itself up to needless litigation. Ellis v Blum types of actions for 42 USC 1983 and Bivins type Constitutional Torts will likely be commenced. Obvious constitutional and legislative overreaching by the agency will surely result in citizens protecting their rights to due process and their constitutionally mandated guarantee to a Republican form of government. The cost of litigation, the harassment and subsequent cost on both the government and its citizens is not condoned by any statute or lawful authority delegated to government, Period!

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

On the efficacy of passive resistance in the face of the collectivist beast. . .

Had the Japanese got as far as India, Gandhi's theories of "passive resistance" would have floated down the Ganges River with his bayoneted, beheaded carcass. -- Mike Vanderboegh.

In the future . . .

When the histories are written, “National Rifle Association” will be cross-referenced with “Judenrat.” -- Mike Vanderboegh to Sebastian at "Snowflakes in Hell"

"Smash the bloody mirror."

If you find yourself through the looking glass, where the verities of the world you knew and loved no longer apply, there is only one thing to do. Knock the Red Queen on her ass, turn around, and smash the bloody mirror. -- Mike Vanderboegh

From Kurt Hoffman over at Armed and Safe.

"I believe that being despised by the despicable is as good as being admired by the admirable."

From long experience myself, I can only say, "You betcha."

"Only cowards dare cringe."

The fears of man are many. He fears the shadow of death and the closed doors of the future. He is afraid for his friends and for his sons and of the specter of tomorrow. All his life's journey he walks in the lonely corridors of his controlled fears, if he is a man. For only fools will strut, and only cowards dare cringe. -- James Warner Bellah, "Spanish Man's Grave" in Reveille, Curtis Publishing, 1947.

"We fight an enemy that never sleeps."

"As our enemies work bit by bit to deconstruct, we must work bit by bit to REconstruct. Be mindful where we should be. Set goals. We fight an enemy that never sleeps. We must learn to sleep less." -- Mike H. at What McAuliffe Said

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
